    A potential difference develops between the electrode and the electrolyte which is called the electrode potential. Electrode reactions are assumed to induce deviations from equilibrium due to the passage of an electrical current through an electrochemical cell causing a change in the electrode potential . This electrochemical phenomenon is referred to as polarization.

    Polarization may be defined the shift in electrode potential which results from the effects of current flow w.r.t. the zero current flow potential. electrode potential is the electromotive force of a galvanic cell built from a standard reference electrode and another electrode to be characterized.

    The extent of the potential change caused by the current is known as polarization. Such change is caused by various physical and chemical factors at the electrodes. Polarization may be defined the shift in electrode potential which results from the effects of current flow w.r.t. the zero current flow potential. A potential difference develops between the electrode and the electrolyte which is called the electrode potential.
